Ken Pierce Media Publishes 7000th WordPress Post

editorial label, editorial,

Greetings and Felicitations my Friends, I’m taking a moment or three out of your busy day to share another of those web-publishing milestones with you all. Before I continue, lets scroll back to July of 2025 when the Ken Pierce Media website published its 6666th Post. I thought it was fun to laud something like that since our original main thing was focused on Metal and it made me think of the classic Iron Maiden song. The last few months since then have been busy and now we have just recently reached the 7000th Post not too far into February and it took about seven months to do that. As the founder and lead creative of the website it’s always a treat for me to see the numbers rise because its a more tangible medium as opposed to something on social media. This year will mark the sixth anniversary of the idea and I will be penning a missive about that in June when said birthday occurs.

Greetings and Felicitations my Friends, I’m taking a moment or three out of your busy day to share what I feel is another one of those website posting milestones. Since time moves so swiftly in our day you might not recall this bit of information but it was back in November of 2023 when the Ken Pierce Media website reached its own 6000th Post. Now, almost two years later, the site has pressed publish on the 6666th Post. It not only felt very Iron Maiden to me but also quite Metal and since I had posted an announcement when it reached the 5555th Post, I felt that following suit would be a fun idea and lets me talk to you on a one to one basis. To be honest, it’s great to hit this kind of a publishing achievement right after the websites 5th Anniversary and if you didn’t see my lengthy missive on the site birthday from June please click HERE. I’ll admit that this years anniversary post is a little bit of a read but that’s because I wanted to take you through every step of the process in its creative journey but now let’s get back into some of the fun behind reaching post #6666.

From Automattics News Blog:
Since Automattic acquired Tumblr we’ve made it more efficient, grown its revenue, and worked to improve the platform. But there’s one part of the plan that we haven’t yet started, which is to run Tumblr on WordPress. I’m pleased to say we’re kicking off that project now!

We’re not talking about changing Tumblr. We’re not turning Tumblr into WordPress. That would defeat the purpose. We acquired Tumblr to benefit from its differences and strengths, not to water it down. We love Tumblr’s streamlined posting experience and its current product direction. We’re not changing that. We’re talking about running Tumblr’s backend on WordPress. You won’t even notice a difference from the outside.

Running Tumblr on WordPress will make it easier to share our work across platforms. We can build something once and bring it to both WordPress and Tumblr. We can run Tumblr on the rock-solid infrastructure behind WordPress.com. Tumblr will benefit from the collective effort that goes into the open source WordPress project. And WordPress will benefit from the tools and creativity we invest into Tumblr and contribute back to WordPress.

Categorically Speaking: Announcing Menu Changes for Piercing Ken’s Website

Greetings my friends and welcome to another technical update. Every now and again you’ll find the Ken Pierce Media website doing this kind of broadcast as opposed to it being shared over on one or both of my other two websites. I’ll explain why shortly and will add that this particular notice is specifically geared towards any of you who are regular readers of my Piercing Ken website aka “The Chronicles of Piercing Ken”. I’m penning this announcement up a few short weeks after the 19th Anniversary of the PiercingMetal site (which is documented HERE for the interested) and since “The Chronicles” will reach its own 14th Anniversary in the coming weeks, I thought that it was a good idea to both make the change that I will be discussing and share it along with you in this fashion. Now onto the subject at hand. For many years, the Piercing Ken website has used a similar menu structure like the PiercingMetal website and has even mirrored two of its main categories with both the “Pop Culture” and “Reviews” sections matching down to the letter. Let’s discuss the Pop Culture section first. It used to look like the structure that you see down below with a Parent Category on the top and then the Child Categories down on the bottom. That’s the web-publishing vernacular in case you wondered.

POP CULTURE
– Comics
– Film and Television
– Toys and Collectibles

Yesterday, Ken Pierce Media published its 6000th post in WordPress.
